EISK5-100T/F_ Series
Plug and Play Fibre Switching Hub for Industrial Automation Systems
Installation Guide
EISK5-100T/F_ switching hubs are designed for Industrial Automation environments.
Like all Ethernet switches from Contemporary Controls, each switching hub features
non-blocking (full wire-speed) operation.
One fibre port communicates at 100 Mbps and has one LED for link status and activity.
The series has three models that vary by type of fibre connector being used. The
EISK5-100T/FC and the EISK5-100T/FCS use the SC type. The EISK5-100T/FT uses
the ST type. Only full-duplex communication is supported on the fibre port.
Four copper ports automatically negotiate the data rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and
set flow control with the PAUSE function (full-duplex links) or the backpressure method
(half-duplex links). Each copper port uses the Auto-MDIX function for attaching local
devices and has one LED for link/activity/rate and one LED for duplex status.
The unit provides preamble regeneration and retimes signals to eliminate jitter. Digital
pre-emphasis compensates for inherent signal strength roll-off. Link indicates that a
working adapter or hub is on the distant end of a segment.
Port assignments are learned by reading Ethernet frames and logging the source
addresses to a table. Learned addresses are aged out of the table after 300 seconds
of inactivity. Throughput is optimised by restricting traffic to only those ports that are
party to a data exchange (while other data is simultaneously exchanged on other
ports). Store-and-forward operation is used. Each port can receive any type of Ethernet
message: broadcast, multicast, or unicast.
The switch works from a wide range of low-voltage AC or DC power and features a
power LED.
Each unit is provided with a writeable label for easy identification of the remote device
attached to each cable.

Power Options
Power Considerations
Voltage in the range of 10–36 VDC or 8–24 VAC must deliver current commensurate
with power consumption. Recommended size for solid power conductors is 16–22 AWG;
for stranded conductors, use 16–18 AWG. Common is directly connected to zero volts and
chassis is isolated from zero volts. Input connections are reverse-polarity protected.
LED Indicators
The ―PWR‖ LED glows solid green when the switch is properly powered. To aid in
troubleshooting, each copper port has two LEDs. The Port 1 LED labelled ―L‖ glows
solid if a link exists, flashes to show activity and shows data rate by colour: green for 100
Mbps and yellow for 10 Mbps. The LED labelled ―D‖ glows solid green if full-duplex is on
or is unlit when the port is in half-duplex mode — but in half-duplex operation it will flash
if a collision occurs. The LEDs of Ports 2–4 are unlabelled but work the same. The fibre
port (5) LED glows solid green if linked to a working 100BASE-FX port and flashes when
data moves through the port.
Network Connections
The switch employs Auto-MDIX
technology so that either straightthrough or crossover cables can
be used to connect to network
interface adapters or to other
hubs. Cable issues are shown in
the chart to the right
